Having officially launched yesterday (yippee!) my batteries are a little low at the moment, so apologies if the second part of this question has been covered recently.

Anyway, what I'm wanting to know is:

1. What awards you are aware of that you think may be relevant to my company (we have just launched a 2000+ page wedding planning website offering ideas & advice, free planning tools, supplier directory, news, competitions, special offers etc. etc.)

2. Whether the awards (or awards in general) are worth applying for in the first place. I have heard mixed stories in the past - some say that they provide a really good boost to image and reputation, others say that they are just gimmicks designed to get cash out of businesses who have to pay a small fortune for tickets & tables at award ceremonies.
